Norinco bell sharpshot

[BernieL]

Have had this gun since new. 30 years
My first new gun.
I'm starting to want more accuracy from it.
Trigger is stiff.
The barrel is fairly heavy and is free floated.
Best group this year is 1.2 in with cil 38 gr hp. 10 shots at 50yds
It has a small 3 x9 bushnell on it that has been there since new.
I was told it was a Bruno copy. Anyone have pics of a Bruno?
I can't post pics yet.
Any trigger improvement I can do?
I will be trying some better ammo in two weeks.
Let me know what you know

If it's a Brno copy, you may be able to swap out the spring for a lighter one. Hardware stores may have them. Try a scope with more than 9X magnification; it should have AO to adjust for parallax and fine crosshairs so you can see exactly what you're aiming at. Use better ammo, standard velocity not high velocity. Shoot five-shot groups. Use a front rest and rear bag. Make sure the barrel isn't touching the sides of the barrel channel. Use good technique, including trigger control and follow through.

Of all these suggestions, try better ammo first. If you can get it, try SK Standard Plus; if not, give CCI SV a try.
